Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 details released

When information about Modern Warfare 3‘s story and single-player campaign were leaked along with images from the game, we knew that it wouldn’t take long for Activision to step in and make a formal announcement. And now they have, complete with a YouTube channel and Facebook page for people who are interested in more details and trailers for the upcoming game.

Activision hasn’t refuted any of the information leaked late last week, but they have announced that official details will be posted on the Modern Warfare 3 Facebook page, and new trailers and gameplay previews will be posted to the YouTube channel. Over the weekend, the Facebook page managed to amass over 200,000 fans, and the only thing posted there at the moment are the four preview teaser videos also released on the YouTube channel.

The videos each give you an idea of parts of the world you can expect to see in the game. The first trailer is the America Under Seige video, which gives us a teaser of the Russian invasion of New York City that we should see at the beginning of the game. The other three take us to Germany, France, and England, and each 30-second preview gives us a clear picture of some of the landmarks in each country. For example, expect to see explosions near the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and in England, expect to see some action in London.

All of this is consistent with what we learned from the leaks last week. The game will take us through active fighting in Paris and New York City, show us a terrorist attack in London, and walk us through fending off a Russian invasion force in Germany. Activision promises that Modern Warfare 3 will be a revolutionary game, and that remains to be seen, especially if the November 2011 launch date is to be believed. Still, at the very least we’ll get to blow up a lot of familiar places.

Speak Your Mind

looking forward to this, not that I put much time into BlOps after I beat the single player.

I am apprehensive. If this game flops it will be because Infinity Ward is not behind this. MW has ridden the gravy train that IW started.

Awesome game it should be. Infinity ward was better at making these games. We shall see what thy can bring to the table in their absence.

Don’t underestimate the sledgehammer the #1 fps franchise in the world.. ea always sucks on thier multiplayer mode.. so this mw3 will have to be something we don’t expect from on gaming experience.. that’s a good thing..
